Out of the Abyss – Prisoners of the Drow
As previously mentioned, I’m DMing an online Out of the Abyss game. Last night was our second session, the first where we actually played.
**Be aware. Spoilers for those who may one day play this campaign.**
Players/Characters include:
- Caitlin – Elven mage
- Dante – Elven rogue
- Jason – Human warlock
The above PCs, along with 10 NPCs, begin the adventure as prisoners of the drow. They are all locked in a cell in an underground outpost. They have no weapons, armor, spellbooks, or other equipment.
Between work shifts that include preparing food, cleaning waste buckets, and other menial tasks, the characters take the opportunity to interact with some of the other prisoners. Keeping their eyes open, they do manage to find and acquire some items that may prove useful as improvised weapons. After a few more days of captivity, one of their drow captors surreptitiously approaches the characters and offers to help them escape. The characters agree to his offer, though they are suspicious of his motives. Talking amongst themselves about how to escape, the characters realize that their manacles are just loose enough for the characters to twist and strain to slip out of their restraints.
To be continued…
